Time flies, and as another year of snow melts, the spring of the tenth year of Zhaoping arrives as scheduled.
In the past three years, natural disasters have been greatly reduced. Except for the locust plague in Shanxi last year and the floods in Anhui the year before last, all other places have achieved good harvests. The money is sufficient every year, and the national treasury is in surplus for the first time;
Outside, the Hu people were defeated in a battle three years ago. After their vitality was severely damaged, they are still frightened when they hear the name of Pei You'an. According to the agreement they made, they will go north for five hundred miles. Within ten years, they are determined not to fight again. Ability to provoke large-scale border provocations;
As for the clan, at the end of last year, the emperor also killed the last King Jing'an who was reported to have rebelled. In the past three years, the last seven or eight remaining princes, including King Jing'an, who were considered powerful or likely to imitate King Changle, committed suicide in fear of guilt, or committed suicide on charges that were either confirmed or unfounded. Even though they were reduced to common people, no one could have a happy ending. The determination of Emperor Pinghan's heart and the iron-blooded skills of his wrists can be seen. The other surviving feudal princes were all trembling with fear, fearing that they would cause disaster, and took the initiative to hand over their troops. The imperial court completely took back the elite armed forces in the hands of all external vassal kings, and strictly limited the authority of the kings. When the first-rank officials of the imperial court met the kings, they no longer had to bow down and pay homage. At this point, the vassal restriction measures that had been implemented since Xiao Lie ascended the throne finally saw results and achieved outstanding results in the tenth year of difficult advancement.
The new year is supposed to be an auspicious year, with peace and prosperity for the country and the people. But just as the people in the city were eagerly looking forward to the Lantern Festival celebrations, the atmosphere in the court suddenly became heavy.
The sound of firecrackers on New Year's Eve is still in my ears, but within two days, news has spread that the emperor may not be able to hold on any longer. Maybe it will happen in these days.
The emperor's health has been deteriorating since the deposed prince was executed for rebellion a few years ago. In the past two years, the emperor's health has been even more exhausted. However, he has been able to survive until a few days before the end of the year, when the news of the execution of King Jing'an spread. After arriving, perhaps he was completely relaxed. It is said that the emperor fell down that night.
After this collapse, no matter how hard the imperial doctor tried his best, he could never recover.
At the beginning of the year, when the courtiers were still on spring break, the news spread. Ministers such as He Gongpu, Zhang Shiyong, Lu Xiang, Liu Jiushao, etc. came to the East Pavilion where the cabinet was located to wait for orders every day. After learning that in the past few days, most of the time, the emperor had been in a drowsy sleep, without eating a grain of rice, relying solely on medicinal juice and ginseng soup to keep him going, everyone's faces were solemn, and they all looked at Pei You'an in unison.
In the past two years, the emperor has let go of all ordinary court affairs and handed them over to the cabinet headed by Pei You'an. In addition to government affairs, Pei You'an also personally assisted the emperor's grandson in his studies. The emperor's grandson respected the Taifu extremely. The relationship between master and disciple, the relationship between master and disciple.
The emperor's grandson was not only talented and intelligent, but at such a young age, he already had an air of solemnity in his movements. Even the civil and military officials of the dynasty, such as He and Zhang, who had senior qualifications, did not dare to do anything in front of this seven-year-old child. Unbridled. As for the rumors about his unseemly origins that were vaguely circulated in the court when he was first established as the emperor's grandson, they have long since disappeared and no one mentioned them anymore.
Everyone knows that the old dynasty is about to pass, and what is about to come is the era of the emperor's grandson and his disciple who is underage and needs tutoring.
Everyone knows that on the night the emperor fell, Pei Youan entered the palace overnight and went on spring break the next day. Apart from asking about the emperor's condition, he spent the rest of the time in the East Pavilion, handling palace affairs as usual. The relationship between the emperor's grandson and the emperor's grandson was very good. When the emperor fell ill, the emperor's grandson was sad and anxious, and had difficulty sleeping at night. Considering that the emperor's grandson was still young, he was afraid that he would be too sad and damage his health, and there was no aunt in the palace. As the chief guide, Pei You'an, the Taifu, has brought his wife into the palace these days to temporarily take care of the emperor's grandson and comfort him.
He, Zhang and others naturally had no objection to his arrangement.
In the East Pavilion, under the gaze of several ministers around him, Pei Youan remained silent without saying a word.
It doesn¡¯t look much different from usual.

"Chirp¡ª¡ª"
Accompanied by a sharp sound of piercing the sky, a line of fireworks rose in the night sky of Dengcheng City not far from the east outer wall of the palace, bursting into brilliant fireworks. The first one had not yet disappeared, and the next one could not wait to compete again. Gradually, fireworks bloomed all over the city, vying with each other to light up the night sky of the capital during the Lantern Festival.
Since the emperor fell ill, he has not left the Chengguang Hall.
This palace is located in the direction of the West Garden of the Imperial Palace. It is originally far away from the East Market. But tonight, the city is full of fireworks, and the crackling sound blooming in the distant night sky floats faintly over the high palace wall to this place.
Li Yuangui was the emperorBefore getting to the hospital bed, I had been staying there for half a month. I was so sleepy that I closed my eyes haphazardly on the floor.
The doctors have just left. The emperor has been in a coma for two days and two nights, and it is difficult to feed him the ginseng soup that he has been drinking for a long time.
When the imperial doctors withdrew, they looked at the emperor who seemed to have fallen asleep on the dragon couch, and the panic in their eyes was ready to come out.
Li Yuangui looked at the half-filled bowl of concoction, suppressed the sadness welling up in his heart, called the palace attendants to come forward, and was about to try feeding the concoction into the emperor's throat together again. Suddenly, the man on the sick bed, A pair of eyelids trembled slightly.
"Whoops¡ª¡ª"
Faintly, outside the palace wall in the distance, there seemed to be another burst of fireworks.
The emperor¡¯s eyelids were shaking even more fiercely.
Li Yuangui saw it, rushed over, and hurriedly shouted "Long live".
Xiao Lie's eyes finally opened slowly.
"Whoops¡ª¡ª"
There seemed to be another sound in the distance.
Xiao Lie seemed to be listening attentively. After a while, his eyes gradually became clear.
"Long live, are you awake? Long live the medicine! Once you take the medicine, the long live disease will be cured!"
With tears of excitement in his eyes and a slightly trembling voice, Li Yuangui hurriedly picked up the bowl of concoction, took a spoonful of it and fed it to the emperor's lips.
Xiao Lie seemed to have not heard anything and remained motionless. He only continued to listen to the crackling of fireworks in the distant night sky. For a long time, he asked softly in a weak and almost inaudible hoarse voice: "Is it Shangyuan tonight?"
"Yes. Long live you have been asleep for half a month" Li Yuangui's voice choked up again.
"I have been sleeping for half a month"
Xiao Lie repeated it in a murmur.
"It's so fast I just dreamed about Shangyuan Ye when I was fourteen years old When I woke up, she was already gone. It has been more than thirty years in a flash Fortunately, I have to leave too, I'm going to find her"
He sighed softly, unable to tell whether he was happy or sad.
Li Yuangui lowered his head and wiped his tears.
"Go and get the things from my box."
Li Yuangui was startled, then understood. He hurried to a gold-painted cabinet with dragon patterns, took the key, opened the cabinet door, took out a box, took out the jade pendant placed in the box, and held it Before the sickbed, he carefully placed it in the emperor's hands.
The warm and cool jade fell into Xiao Lie¡¯s open palm. He closed his eyes, slowly tightened his fingers, and finally squeezed the piece of jade tightly into the palm of his hand.
In his dream just a moment ago, that year, he was fourteen and she was thirteen. It was also such a dazzling Yuan Dynasty night. I remember the moon on the willows, him secretly leaving the palace, the dragon horse with silver saddle, the young man wandering, he indulged Riding the jubilant horse, he deliberately rushed in front of the girl and broke the rabbit lantern she was holding.
She naturally recognized him, having met him often since she was a child. She knew that he relied on the emperor's favor and was always rampant in the palace. She was annoyed, but due to her status, she did not dare to scold him. She only turned around angrily and wanted to call her family. Walking together, he chased after her and quickly stuffed the jade pendant that he had carved out with his own hands a long time ago and was hiding close to her body, still carrying his body temperature, into her palm.
She loves orchids, he knows.
"I'll pay you, take it!"
He raised his proud chin and said nonchalantly, but his heart was beating hard and his face was slightly red.
She was very surprised and shy, so she quickly stuffed the jade pendant back, turned around and left, as if it was something that could bite.
The young prince hung the jade pendant on the wicker and said to her back: "I'm hanging here. Don't let it go!"
She ignored him and walked a few steps, but saw her family suddenly coming from the opposite side. She quickly turned her head and saw that he was still standing by the willow tree, his eyes shining brightly due to the fireworks on the flower bridge opposite, just staring. I, with an annoying smirk on the young man's handsome and energetic face, couldn't help but feel flustered, fearing that my family would see me, so I turned around hurriedly, ran to the willow tree, and picked off the jade pendant that was still dangling. He came down and quickly hid it in the palm of his hand. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
